Puneeth
Rajkumar’s
sweet
gesture
for
Tollywood
actor
Prabhas
Puneeth
never
shied
away
from
appreciating
actors
of
other
industries.
At
a
time
when
people
questioned
Prashanth
Neel
for
casting
Tollywood
actor
Prabhas
for
his
upcoming
film
Salaar,
the
Power
Star
was
the
first
actor
to
support
and
welcome
the
Rebel
Star
with
open
arms.
He
had
tweeted,
"#SALAAR
THE
MOST
VIOLENT
MEN..
CALLED
ONE
MAN..
THE
MOST
VIOLENT!!
With
open
arms,
ನಮ್ಮ
ಕನ್ನಡ
ನಾಡಿಗೆ,
I
welcome
you
home."
Puneeth
Rajkumar-
A
Philanthropist
It
is
a
known
fact
that
Puneeth's
remuneration
for
singing
in
movies
that
are
not
backed
by
his
production
company
goes
directly
to
the
charity.
Reportedly,
the
actor
had
been
giving
regular
donations
to
Kannada-medium
schools
as
fees
for
underprivileged
students.
On
the
other
hand,
he
had
donated
Rs
50
lakh
to
Karnataka
Chief
Minister
Distress
Fund
for
the
relief
measures
carried
out
by
the
state
government
to
combat
Coronavirus.
Puneeth
Rajkumar:
An
awe-inspiring
dancer
In
one
of
the
interviews
with
Kairam
Vaashi
for
Film
Companion,
the
actor
was
asked
about
the
magic
he
has
been
weaving
with
his
dance
numbers.
Though
Puneeth
accepted
that
he
is
a
good
dancer,
the
star
also
appreciated
actors
including
Tiger
Shroff
and
Hrithik
Roshan,
who
he
said
are
better
than
him.
He
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
am
a
good
dancer.
Not
bad.
There
are
fantastic
dancers
in
our
state
and
in
our
country,
people
like
Tiger
Shroff
he
is
amazing,
Hrithik
Roshan
he
is
great,
and
even
for
Kannada
for
that
matter
Shivarajkumar
Sir
and
Dhruva
Sarja.
I
have
not
really
hired
a
trainer
in
dancing.
But
it
has
always
been
my
passion.
And
I
thank
all
the
dance
masters
and
their
assistants
who
have
choreographed
and
tried
to
give
me
some
training.
I
give
entire
credits
to
them."
Love
towards
Kannada
film
industry
In
one
of
the
many
gestures
of
the
actor,
Puneeth
extended
his
helping
hand
towards
the
pandemic-hit
Sandalwood
industry,
when
it
needed
its
Power
Star
the
most.
The
actor
sold
two
of
his
production
ventures
including
Law
and
French
Biriyani
to
OTT
platforms.
Though
the
actual
reason
behind
the
same
was
not
made
official,
reports
were
rife
that
Puneeth
didn't
want
other
producers
to
run
into
losses
considering
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
When
Puneeth
met
his
fan
virtually
Puneeth
Rajkumar's
sweet
gesture
for
one
of
his
fans
suffering
from
down-syndrome
left
many
teary-eyed.
Nagarjuna,
the
enthusiastic
15-year-old
fan
of
the
actor,
expressed
his
love
and
even
shared
that
he
starts
his
day
by
listening
to
Power
Star's
song
'Bombe
Helutaite' from
Raajkumara.
The
star
who
was
surprised
to
hear
the
same,
was
seen
blessing
the
young
fan
with
a
wide
smile.
Well,
the
video
uploaded
by
Puneeth
himself
on
his
social
media
space
took
the
internet
by
storm
and
won
many
hearts
